Just when one might assume that the depth of incompetence and mismanagement could not possibly go any lower, the whistleblowers have begun to speak out. An anonymous Instagram whistleblower who regularly reports on the Los Angeles Fire Department leaked an internal memo this morning that Mayor Karen Bass will wish had never come to light.
The internal LAFD memo briefed fire chiefs in the jurisdiction that Bass wanted cuts of close to $50 million in this budget cycle. That would be in addition to the $17 million that Bass had already cut out of their resources this cycle, and would have forced the closure of more than a dozen fire stations. And Bass demanded that just days before devastating wildfires began breaking out in Los Angeles, and before the water ran out:
Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass demanded her Fire Department make an extra $49million of budget cuts last week, a leaked memo revealed. …
The extra cuts, requested just days before fires broke out and devastated swathes of Los Angeles, would have shut down 16 fire stations and crippled the department’s ability to respond to emergencies, sources said. …
The memo is dated January 6, only a day before the devastating Palisades Fire started.
According to the sources, it was sent from LAFD ‘top brass’ at City Hall to division chiefs and captains – after a fraught meeting the previous Friday between Chief Kristin Crowley and Mayor Bass.
The Daily Mail has pictures of the memo at the above link. (The Instagram account is private, but that link is above as well.) The text of the first bullet point in the memo reads as follows:
The LAFD is still going through a FY2024/2025 $48.8 million budget reduction exercise with the CAO. The Fire Chief, Board of Fire Commissioners, COA, and UFLAC are steadfast in their message of defending what resources we currently have in place. The only way to provide a cost savings would be to close as many as 16 fire stations (not resources, fire stations); this equates to at least one fire station per City Council District. The details of this plan have not yet been developed. This is a worst-case scenario and is NOT happening yet. The Fire Chief will have a “Chat with the Chief” webinar next week to clarify the situation and the budget.
I’ll just assume that the webinar was postponed … indefinitely. […]
